This has always been a good show.   I would say it is at least as big as the Knoxville show used to be at the museum.   There have been NC guns there.   Bill Ivey has had several tables in the past.  If you are in the area,  you should come.

Like Mark said good show, probably as many tables as the old Norris TN shoe maybe more. Good number of southern rifles plus many from PA. Michael Briggs usually has a good display of NC rifles as does Bill Ivey. If I remember correct Gerald Neaves has both NC and TN rifles there.

Hope you can make it,
Dennis

Dana it's a great show and you will see some good southern guns there. I am going and will have a Vogler styled contemporary rifle that I am finishing up. Stop by and take a look.

Hlbly, I have been hearing some nasty rumors about you and the Louisville show. Are they true?

I have not missed having a table at Tim's great Virginia show for over 20 years and I only take Southern guns with me, because that's all I have.  :)
